Prayer

Intercession of Fr Jordan

Jesus, Saviour of the World, You have given your servant Francis the gift of deep and strong faith, unwavering hope and heroic love for God and neighbour and a strong desire for the salvation of souls.

Count him already here on earth among your blessed ones and through his intercession grant us what we humbly ask for. You, who live and reign for ever and ever.
AMEN

The theme of the Chapter was: ‘Called to live Fr Jordan’s vision today and tomorrow. Celebrating 100 Anniversary of our Founder’s Death’.

On September 8 and thankfully as the weather cleared, we gathered together around our statue of Fr Francis Jordan to celebrate three pivotal events – the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Centenary of the death of Fr Francis Jordan and the Renewal of Vows of our Seminarian, Piotr Babinski SDS. We were blessed to be joined on this memorable occasion by Bishop Bernard O’Grady OP, Fr Krysztof Gasperowicz SDS, Fr Adam Babinski SDS, Piotr Babinski SDS and his wonderful family – who had travelled from Perth to support him.
